👋 Hello! Thanks for asking about Export Formats. YOLOv5 🚀 offers export to almost all of the common export formats. See our TFLite, ONNX, CoreML, TensorRT Export Tutorial for full details.

Formats

YOLOv5 inference is officially supported in 11 formats:

💡 ProTip: Export to ONNX or OpenVINO for up to 3x CPU speedup. See CPU Benchmarks.
💡 ProTip: Export to TensorRT for up to 5x GPU speedup. See GPU Benchmarks.

Format	export.py --include	Model
PyTorch	-	yolov5s.pt
TorchScript	torchscript	yolov5s.torchscript
ONNX	onnx	yolov5s.onnx
OpenVINO	openvino	yolov5s_openvino_model/
TensorRT	engine	yolov5s.engine
CoreML	coreml	yolov5s.mlmodel
TensorFlow SavedModel	saved_model	yolov5s_saved_model/
TensorFlow GraphDef	pb	yolov5s.pb
TensorFlow Lite	tflite	yolov5s.tflite
TensorFlow Edge TPU	edgetpu	yolov5s_edgetpu.tflite
TensorFlow.js	tfjs	yolov5s_web_model/
PaddlePaddle	paddle	yolov5s_paddle_model/

Export a Trained YOLOv5 Model

This command exports a pretrained YOLOv5s model to TorchScript and ONNX formats. yolov5s.pt is the 'small' model, the second smallest model available. Other options are yolov5n.pt, yolov5m.pt, yolov5l.pt and yolov5x.pt, along with their P6 counterparts i.e. yolov5s6.pt or you own custom training checkpoint i.e. runs/exp/weights/best.pt. For details on all available models please see our README table.

python export.py --weights yolov5s.pt --include torchscript onnx

💡 ProTip: Add --half to export models at FP16 half precision for smaller file sizes

Output:

export: data=data/coco128.yaml, weights=['yolov5s.pt'], imgsz=[640, 640], batch_size=1, device=cpu, half=False, inplace=False, train=False, keras=False, optimize=False, int8=False, dynamic=False, simplify=False, opset=12, verbose=False, workspace=4, nms=False, agnostic_nms=False, topk_per_class=100, topk_all=100, iou_thres=0.45, conf_thres=0.25, include=['torchscript', 'onnx']

Good luck 🍀 and let us know if you have any other questions!

[pythonscriptsPro]

Could you please share how did you run it on fpga

[VYRION-Ai]

@pythonscriptsPro try to use onnx environment

[pythonscriptsPro]

@pythonscriptsPro try to use onnx environment
Thanks for your reply,

But the onnx has to be converted to a fpga format, is that right?

[VYRION-Ai]

@pythonscriptsPro no , there is fpga kit that run ubuntu os, you will work like raspberry or jetson nano

[pythonscriptsPro]

Ok, many thanks 😊

[glenn-jocher]

@pythonscriptsPro you're welcome! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Good luck with your YOLOv5 implementation on the FPGA kit! 😊

[pythonscriptsPro]

@glenn-jocher , thanks a lot for your reply,

I deployed YOLOv5 on a KRIA260 device using DPU Overlay PYNQ. Some layers unsupported by KRIA were replaced, affecting performance. The quantization process led to a slight quality degradation, but the performance is comparable to the original code, achieving around 50 fps.

[glenn-jocher]

@pythonscriptsPro that's fantastic to hear! Kudos to your successful deployment on the KRIA260 device using DPU Overlay PYNQ! Achieving a comparable performance of around 50 fps, despite the slight quality degradation, speaks volumes about the capability of YOLOv5. The effort you've put into overcoming the challenges is commendable. Keep up the great work and feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or need assistance. 😊

[pythonscriptsPro]

@glenn-jocher Thank you for your kind words! Your dedication to coding and making it accessible is invaluable.

[glenn-jocher]

@pythonscriptsPro thank you for your kind words! I'm glad I could help. The dedication of the YOLO community and the Ultralytics team to making coding accessible is truly invaluable. Keep up the great work, and if you have any further questions or need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out. 😊

[shivanii1111]

@pythonscriptsPro how did you run yolov5 on kria?? Have you used yolov5.xmodel or yolov5.onnx to run on kria? can you provide details how you have run inference
